“Love isn’t all we need, love is all there is”- Morgan Matson
"So it probably sounds too good to be true, way oversimplified or like
some cliche inspirational quote you see that doesn’t really mean
anything nor does it make sense, but love is all there is. In fact, it
would be safe to say that all “problems” or perceived problems in the
world stem from the belief that we are not already perfect, that we are
not love.
I think most people can agree upon the fact that we come into the
world completely perfect. Babies are without any stains or imperfections
on their being. I was a baby. You were a baby. So what happened? When
did we transform from this perfect little being, a pure manifestation of
love into less than perfect?
“Love is the only reality and not a mere sentiment. It is the
ultimate truth that lies at the heart of creation”- Rabindranath Tagore
At some point we all started to buy into a belief system. This belief
system most likely was based on things your parents believed, what your
culture taught you, what religion you were a part of or combination of
these plus many other things. Any belief system is based in comparisons…
“It is good to be this way, and bad to be that way”, “this is a sin,
this is not a sin”, or “this is acceptable and this is unacceptable.”
We are forced to judge ourselves against the belief system. There are
parts of us that fit into the belief system perfectly, and then there
are parts that don’t fit. Maybe we think we’re too tall, too short, too
big, too small, too smart, too stupid, too rich, or too poor.
It doesn’t really matter what it is but at a certain point something
that we see in ourselves doesn’t measure up to the standards put forth
by the belief system. The belief system or systems become our “rule
book” by what we measure ourselves by.
We think, “Society says that this look is the right one, so that’s
what I must strive to be,” or we may say “My religion says this behavior
is acceptable, and this behavior is not. So since I don’t always act in
an ‘acceptable’ way, I must be bad.”
Over time the belief systems become ingrained in our psyche. We
measure how good, worthy, or bad and unworthy we are against it. We
become so attached to the belief system that we think that is who we
are. In actuality nothing has happened. We were still perfect, we were
still love, but we started to believe we weren’t.
The belief of who we thought we were or were not became our sense of
self, and the illusion was rampant. Everyone we met was suffering from
it… everyone we met was operating from the standpoint that they weren’t
good enough, or they were too good, they weren’t rich enough, or they
were too rich, they weren’t smart enough, and so on and so forth.
No one was realizing that perfection had never really left us, that
we only believed it had based on a fraudulent “rule book” that didn’t
actually exist. Since our fragile little sense of self was resonating in
the fear of not being good enough, instead of the love that we actually
are, we started perceiving the world in the only way we could… which
was the same way we perceived ourselves, not good enough.
Since we didn’t believe we were perfect, the world we saw mirrored
back to us the belief. However, our egos found it way more comfortable
to point at everyone else’s “flaws” and “problems” instead of looking at
our own. So we judged, and we criticized. And we were sure we were
right and they were wrong.
As more time passed we went farther and farther away from the love
and perfection that we actually were and became more and more attached
to the belief systems based in illusion. We started to believe money,
power and more material possessions would make us happy.
Our political leaders convinced us we needed more power, more weapons
and more defense. So there were wars, people were killed on both sides
and with each ending war another one soon started.
Year after year, decade after decade, the belief that we weren’t
already love and already perfect manifested at us not recognizing the
love in everyone around us based on the belief system we felt was the
“right” one, which soon turned in turn manifested at us judging each
other, and fighting with each other on small and larger scales. So where
does it all end? How do we escape from the tangled web we’ve woven over
the years and come back to our own perfection and love?
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate
cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.” – Martin Luther King Jr.
The only thing left to do is come back to what we’ve been this whole
time, love and perfection. It starts with awareness and complete
questioning of our own thoughts and behavior. When we become aware of
the parts of ourselves that believe that we are not enough we can
question them.
What we will find is that every belief that we have that we are not
good enough or measuring up is based on a belief system that is not even
real nor is it set in stone anywhere. It’s all an illusion. Even the
thought that you have that says that you aren’t good should be loved.
Unraveling the illusion of imperfection will take time. You most likely
won’t be able to just say, “Ok, now I believe I’m perfect” and that’s
it, everything changes. These are beliefs that have been forced in your
conscious and subconscious mind over and over and over. Just like we
can’t fight for peace, we can’t hate ourselves into loving ourselves.
We can’t resonate with the perfection inside of us until we accept
and love every single aspect of ourselves, if we are judging people, ok,
love the thought of judgment. If we hate a group of people, love that
thought so much that eventually it just goes away. Love is a form of
surrender, when we surrender to the ego illusions they can’t keep
fighting with us.
One by one, we will start to see that we are love, and since we only
will recognize the love in ourselves, we will start to only see the love
in others, EVEN if they are different than us. If each one of us starts
resonating in our own perfection, we will subconsciously give other
people we meet the permission to resonate in their own love. This is how
the world will change."

Love: How to Return Back to What We Already are
Nikki Sapp
its all good
To the point that it comes down to who's religion is right and who's is wrong.. I like to live life and accept everyones beliefs, who's to say who is right or wrong? Not me.. not anyone..This is why i don't discuss politics or religion...Because even my statement here is bound to get some of you all fired up and angry.... Hmmm!!!
